**Warning**DO NOT buy trader joes canned salmon (w/pics)

[Maestro]

WTF is this I go out of my way to buy their overpriced crap and it turns out to be just that.

I'm sticking to the premium Bumblebee brand. Look at this crap:



When I first opened it up and plopped it onto the saucerbones everywhereand skin wolven through out the entire chunk of meat


closeup


the spine that I tore from the center of the meat:


If I had a cat I wouldn't feed it this slop, its covered with fat the spinal bones are still attached there are rib bones strewn throughout the chunk of meat and even when I spend 20minutes picking through it it ust tastes awful. I figured if it was 2.99 a can it would be something fancy but it isn't

Lots of canned salmon is like that. The canning process softens the bones so much you can actually just eat all of it. There's nothing wrong with skin either, you can eat that as well. Sorry buddy, that's just run of the mill salmon hehe...if you buy the big normal sized cans, it's just a cross-section of the fish, spine and all.

[scoch]

you went to trader joe's to buy canned salmon? +O

well, this month has beent he first time i've tried canned salmon and the first time I bought it I bought that $3/per 6oz can of premium Bumblebee salmon there were no bones, no skin, no fat and it was great. It was just as clean (if not cleaner) than albacore.

.....I know, I was already there and didn't feel like shopping around the price was cheaper so I thought I was somehow going to get a deal.

Yea...it's pretty expensive, even canned. The bones/skin won't harm you, and actually provide more vitamins/minerals than regular stuff, but if you don't like the taste then by all means buy the other stuff. Trader Joe's is expensive as hell though lol

[¡STFU!ˇNˆLIFT!]

Exactly how my $1.29 per 16oz can looks that I buy from Aldi's

[VietBoy]

that looks fine to me. i usually buy the gold seal 213g cans. good stuff i must admit.

[BNR]

looks good to me, I'd make some good salmon patties with that

No fat? Salmon is full of good, healthy fats, so how could buying canned salmon with no fat be great?

[BAMF_T]

That looks disgusting...

[bookv]

Dude, that's what canned salmon is. The bones are full of calcium, the skin full of the healthy fats. If you don't want them, get the kind that says boneless and skinless.

[Oddball8945]

the soft bones r the best part

[RickStaaa]

since we are on the topic of trader joes....what you guys think of TJoes chicken...you know the spicy covered ones 5 pieces=17 g of Protein!!!

who would've imagined

[Calipe]

I would eat it. lol, it doesn't look bad from what it looks like, don't know about the smell, though.

[echelon101]

I only eat Salmon if I buy it fresh. I have bought tinned Salmon in the past and hated it all the way. Tuna and Frozen White Fish Fillets is the way forward.

You need to read the can OP.

[pacificgrl]

good timing! i was going to have that exact same thing for lunch. i don't mind the bones but i usually throw out the skin. the TJ's is very pricey and i do prefer my canned fish to be a bit firmer than that salmon appears in the pics...

the can didn't say anything about containing bones and skin. It was their most expensive line of salmon I thought it would be pretty clean. like bumblebee brand salmon

that looks like they threw the whole fish in a meat grinder and dumped it in the can.

oh almost forgot, I turned 24 today. I share a birthday with Kim Jong Il and Sonny Bono.

Well you're actually paying more for less with Bumbelee. Just try the TJ's, the bones aren't bad.

And happy birthday!! Gonna do anything cool?

kirkland sig from costco is best quality and price

[Rootoo]

I bought this from there and I don't remember any bones in it... a little skin though.

I did not like it, I will just stick with tuna.

[ilikebeer]

its probably the same product

[bseidl]

Yeah the first time I had canned salmon I was like "WTF they forgot to take out the bones" haha I ate it anyway and I thought it was pretty disgusting. I don't eat canned salmon. I bake salmon fillets. Much better!

[Maestro]

My main beef is, why arn't there prominent skin and bones in cheap canned tuna but cheap salmon is littered with it?

[androyd]

TJ's has an extremely liberal policy of returning items that you didn't care for, even if you finished them. Just bring back the empty can and the unopenned ones you didn't eat and they'll gladly refund you. Don't even need the receipt.
